More cores for the same price!

Gaming benchmarks (GTX 1080 Ti): GTA V

GTA V confirms that CPUs with extreme core counts do not offer an added value for gaming. Note that on Medium the 8600K achieves a higher framerate than the 8700K, which makes it clear that RAGE, the Rockstar Engine, profits more from fast physical cores, and even sees a reduction (albeit minimal) with extra threads because of HyperThreading.
